Common applications include: – DNA/RNA extraction in molecular biology – Protein denaturation studies – Synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates – Antiseptic and preservative formulations – Chemical analysis and quality control testing
For educational labs, this phenol serves as an excellent teaching tool for demonstrating aromatic chemistry principles, acid-base reactions, and purification techniques. Its distinctive odor and properties make it memorable for students while maintaining safety when handled properly.
Storage tip: Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use, as phenol is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air. Always store in a dedicated chemical cabinet away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers.
FAQs
What’s the difference between AR grade and LR grade phenol?
AR (Analytical Reagent) grade phenol undergoes stricter purification than LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade, making it suitable for quantitative analysis where high purity is critical. AR grade has fewer impurities that could interfere with sensitive tests.
Can I use this phenol for DNA extraction?
Yes, this 99.5% pure phenol is commonly used in molecular biology for nucleic acid extraction. Its high purity helps prevent contamination of DNA/RNA samples during the isolation process.
How should I dispose of phenol waste?
Phenol waste should be collected in designated containers and disposed of through authorized hazardous waste handlers. Never pour it down drains. Check your institution’s chemical waste disposal guidelines.
What’s the shelf life of Phenol AR?
When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the container tightly sealed, Phenol AR maintains its purity for 2-3 years. Always check for any color changes or crystal formation before use.
Do you offer bulk discounts on phenol purchases?
Yes, eqipped provides competitive pricing on bulk orders. Contact our customer support with your requirements for the best quotes on 500gm, 1kg, or 2.5kg packs.
